DOUBLE. FLAT BINDERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 32 4 dated October 20, 1885- Application filed February 23, 1584. Serial No. 121,657. (Motleld in Double Flat Binders; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters IO and figures marked thereon.

My invention relates to a cheap and efficient mechanism adapted to apply and attach double flat binding to coats, vests, and avariety of other classes of work where double flat bindi5 ing is used, and is adapted to be used in connection with any sewing-machine, and is at tached to the presser-foot bar of an ordinary sewing-machine, and when so applied and' used as hereinafter described it applies a:

my invention, I will now proceed to describe.

2 it by reference to the accompanying drawings,

in whiel1- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved binder on a section of the clothplate of an ordinary sewing-machine and a section of the head and arm of an ordinary sewing-machine with a needle and presser-foot working in the head. Fig. 2 represents a top view of my improved binder. Fig. 3 represents a side elevation of the same. Fig. 4 5 5 represents an end elevation of the same. Fig. 5 represents a top view of the presser-foot and plate of my improved binder. Fig. 6 represents a side elevation of the same. Fig. 7 represents an end elevation of the same. Fig. 0 8 representsa top view of the adjustable clothguide. Fig. 9 represents a side elevation of the same. Fig. 10 represents the opposite side of my improved binder from that illustrated in Fig. 3, showing a coil-spring between 4 5 theplate, Fig. 5, and the adjustable cloth-guide Fig. 8, also an end View of the movable binding-guard, with a spring between it and the adjustable cloth-guide, Fig. 8. Fig. 11 represents an end view of the cloth-guide. Fig.

'12 represents a perspective view of the stop S,.which holds, as shown in Fig. 2, the adjustable cloth-guide, Fig. 8, and by means of it and an adjusting-screw a lateral adjustment is secured. Fig. 13 represents a perspective view of a movable binder-guard. Fig. 14 represents a perspective view of the upper adjustable binding-guide. Fig. 15 represents a perspective view of the lower binding-guide.

. Fig. 16 represents a portion of the presserfoot and plate cloth-guide with a spring between, and an end view of the supplemental -movablev binder-guard with coiled spring b between it and the cloth-guide, on a larger scale than Fig. 10, with parts broken away, and taken on linez z of Fig. 2 through the grooves of and b that receive the upper and lower bindingguides, e and 0".

Having described my invention by reference to the figures marked on the accompanying drawings, I-will now proceed to describe the same by reference to the letters marked thereon, in which similar letters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views.

A represents a section of the top of the clothplate of an ordinary sewing-machine.

A represents a section of the head of an ordinary sewing-machine.

A represents a section of the arm of an ordinary sewing-machine, to which the head is attached.

A represents a needle-bar with a needle therein.

A represents a bar carrying the presserfoot and plate. j

a represents the resser-foot and plate of my improved binder.

a, to represent two longitudinal slots in the presser-foot plate.

a represents a central slot in the foot plate.

a represents a longitudinal groove on the front surface of the presser-foot plate for the reception of the upper binding-guide. This presserslot is on an incline, as indicated in Fig. 7, to give the proper pitch to the binding-guide to bring the binding under the pressenfoot and needle of the sewing-machine. V

a represents an aperture for attaching the presser-foot plate to the bar. I

a represents a circular aperture in the presser-foot plate, through which the needle moves.

b represents an adjustable cloth-guide. The office of this guide is to guide and even the edges of the binding and cloth to secure an even and uniform application of the bindings to the. cloth.

b b represent two projecting ears on the cloth-guide, which fit into the slots a a, in the guide and presser-foot plate for securing a vertical automatic adjustment of the presseri'o'ot plate and cloth-guide as the machine is operated to allow the cloth to pass more freely between theupper and lowerbinding-guides. A lateral adjustment of the cloth-guide is secured by loosening the screw d, which works in a slot, a which, when loosened, allows the ears I) b to move in slots at a to the required cistance. Then the screw is tightened.

S is a stop which is attached to the lower part of the presser-plate by the set-screw d, \vhich holds it in place, and which facilitates the lateral adjustment of the presser-plate with relation to the needle according to the distance which it may be desired to leave between the edge of the article to be bound and the row of stitches, all of which will depend upon the width ofthe braid to be attached. The object of this adjustment is to secure the application of the bindings to the cloth at the proper place,to secure even anduniform work,

and to accommodate different widths of binding, and to guide the cloth and binding under the needle by keeping the edges of the cloth andbinding close up against it.

b represents a depressed or rabbeted surface on the cloth-guide.

1) represents a projecting guide-post, which extends above and in front of the presser-foot plate, as indicatedin Fig. 3.

b in Figs. 8, 9, and 16 represents a crossgroove on the under side of the cloth-guide, adapted to receive the lower binding-guide.

b Fig. 8, represents a hole in the clothguide for the reception of the pin 0 on the binding-guard C, Fig. 13.

c, Fig. 13, represents a supplemental movableguard with a stationary pin, 0, in the center. This binding-guard is placed on the rabbet'ed surface of the cloth-guide at b Fig. 8, with a pin inserted in the hole b One or more coil-springs, 0 are placed between sorted in slots e e.

this binding supplemental guard and the surface of the cloth-guide. These springs keep this guard in contact with the presser-foot plate by causing it to move up and down with the presser-foot as the machine is operated. The sole office of this guard is to prevent the edges of the binding and cloth from getting between the cloth-guide and the resser-foot plate when in use. It is obvious that this vertically-reciprocating guard would perform its functions in a single or double binding guide attachment.

6 represents the upper binding-guide. e represents a slot for adjusting the same by means of screw 6, Fig.2.

6 represents a longitudinal slot in the end of the binding-guide of sufficient length and breadth to accommodate ordinary flat binding. This binding-guide is placed in groove a Fig. 1, and is held in place and adjusted laterally by means of set-screw 6, Figs. 1 and 2'. v

6 represents the lower binding-guide. 6, Fig.' 15, represents a longitudinal slot by means of'which, in connection with a setscrew similar to e in the upper bindingguide, a lateral adjustment to the width of the binding-guideis secured. I

6 represents a longitudinal slot in the end of the lower binding-guide, e ,wi.th sufficient length and breadth to accommodate ordinary binding. This binding-guide is placed in cross-groove b, Fig. 9, on the under side of the cloth-guide, and is adjustable laterally, as before described. Both binding-guides are substantially alike, and are each adapted to receive and guide a single flat binding under the presser-foot and to the needle of'a sewing-machine upon opposite sides of the cloth, to'whichthesaid flat bindings areto beapplied. The upper binding-guide, Fig. 14,is attached to the top of the presser-foot plate, and the lower binding guide, Fig. 15, is attached to the lower surface of the cloth-guide,as shown, ready for operation in Fig. 1. Thebindingguides are attached to the presser-footplate.

and cloth-guide. They may be attached to the presser-foot plate.

Operation: My improved double flat binder is attached to the presser-foot bar of the ordinary sewing-machine. The binding is in- The cloth to which it is to be applied is placed between the bindingguides with the cloth-guide adjusted to regulate the proper application of the binding to the material and the cloth, and two bindings are brought under the presser-foot, which brings the same in contact with the feed-motion, which feeds the same into the machine, and the two bindings and the' cloth. are guided evenly, thereby applying the two bindings to the edge of the cloth in one operation. extreme outer edges of the two bindings can then be sewed t0gether,or to the garment in one operation, if the operator wishes to so unite them.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
